These benefits persisted beyond the end of the trial despite equivalent glucose levels in the two groups (hba 1c ∼8% [64 mmol/mol]) in the posttrial period; furthermore, reductions in incident cardiovascular disease and mortality in the intensively treated group emerged with time . this seminal study has been the basis for glycemic target.
Water hardness is measured in grains; 0.064 g calcium carbonate is equivalent to one grain of hardness.[59] water is classified as soft if it contains 1 to 4 grains, medium if it contains 5 to 10 grains and hard if it contains 11 to 20 grains. [59].
Hence, it is reasonable to consider an a1c range of 5.7–6.4% as identifying individuals with prediabetes. as with those with ifg and igt, individuals with an a1c of 5.7–6.4% should be informed of their increased risk for diabetes and cvd and counseled about effective strategies to lower their risks (see section iv).. Water hardness is measured in grains; 0.064 g calcium carbonate is equivalent to one grain of hardness.[59] water is classified as soft if it contains 1 to 4 grains, medium if it contains 5 to 10 grains and hard if it contains 11 to 20 grains. [59].
For example, if the a1c is 7.0% (53 mmol/mol) and a repeat result is 6.8% (51 mmol/mol), the diagnosis of diabetes is confirmed. if two different tests (such as a1c and fpg) are both above the diagnostic threshold when analyzed from the same sample or in two different test samples, this also confirms the diagnosis..
